The partners of Steampunk Adventures in Winterfell Anodyne (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Winterfell%20Anodyne/46/32/22) have put together their combined talents to publish a new magazine for distribution in Second Life and via the World Wide Web. The focus or theme of this magazine will be synonymous with the name, STEAMPUNK ADVENTURES. It will feature original fiction, art and photography, maker spotlights, and much more. The first issue is due to be released on August 13th. Steampunk Adventures is a new lens into the cultural menagerie of literature, fashion, imagery, music and interesting bits you didn’t know you need to know.

The Steampunk Adventures team has assembled a first rate crew of talented and dedicated individuals to steer this project. Miss CathyWyo1 Haystack and Mr Onyx Plutonian provide the overall vision. They have brought on Miss Kitsuko Pelazzi as Chief Editor assisted by M. Gordon Soleil who also brings considerable skill as a writer. M. Zebrati Merricks and M. Alana Steamweaver are on hand for photographic and literary contributions. Miss Tehanu Marenwolf joins the team as graphics design expert.

This may appear to be a rather thin staff for so great an undertaking. However, the publishers and editorial staff have opened the doors to all aspiring or established authors, artists, poets, news hounds and adventurers throughout the Second Life grid. All are invited to become part of the Adventure. Mr. Plutonian explains, We aim to be an outlet for literary and artistic talent as well as a source of entertainment and information for the many so-called Steamlands communities in Second Life. In the fine tradition of such publications as Analog Science Fiction and Fact, Asimovs Science Fictionand Amazing Storieswe are open to original submissions of short stories, poetry, photographic and other visual art that fits within our general themes of Steampunk and Adventure. Even better, if we publish your work, well pay you for it. Submission guidelines are available on the Steampunk Adventures In Second Life website (http://steampunkadventuressl.wordpress.com/).

Steampunk Adventures is both a shopping emporium and a soon to be released e-magazine. The store, located in Winterfell Anodyne (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Winterfell%20Anodyne/46/32/22), is a one-stop Emporium carrying everything for your Steampunk or Neo-Victorian outfitting and equipage needs from some of the best designers and builders in Second Life. The magazine aims to carry the themes of Steampunk and Adventure forward to the distribution of original fiction, artwork and relevant information to the Steamlands.
